I just had an anger meltdown at a friend after going to a BBQ full of strangers speaking another language...

A couple days ago She shared an instagram account about my culture, and although I figured the instagrammer was a bit of a scam, I'd still follow the account because she shared something with me.

Fast forward, two days later, tonight, after coming back from the party, I all of a sudden had a meltdown and sent her a long rant out of nowhere about how the instagramer is just a scam girl and many insulting comments about the account. It's too late to take it back now, and I feel bad for not being able to control myself.

How can I, after reading about autism social advice, still not be able to remember and control it???

Any advice what I should say to my friend?

I feel really bad.

Has your friend responded? At least the rant wasn’t directed at your friend. Did you say you would end the friendship? Did you blame your friend for the scam?

Explain to your friend why you think it was a scam. Do it calmly. Apologize if you insulted your friend. Does this person know you’re autistic?
